A member asked:

How do i get rid of this canker sore on back of throat?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Can't: I am not aware of a proven effective method. If it is a canker sore it will resolve in a couple of days. If it doesn't or you have lots of "canker sores" get a good diagnosis of what is happening.

Need Consultation: Wrong place to get canker sore. Get your physician to biopsy this.
